The services themselves will probably be made to ask for verification and your devices will answer through the age verification app. Since custom mobile OSs (or desktop Linux) won’t provide hardware attestation, the app won’t work on them and the websites will treat you as underage. The types of services that require age verification aren’t specific, they can change based on EU decisions so eventually people not using “approved” OSs may be locked out of most of the internet.

Agree 100%. I hope everyone realizes this! I have seen too many ppl who think, “It’s OK, open source will save us”. But open source can’t. This is a legal and social prob, and needs a legal and social solution.

And you can be damn sure this will infest necessary government services and apps that won’t allow you to contact the government in any other way.
